I don't have any of the current beaver baits with the synthetic hair,,heard this and that about them,,wondering what your opinions and experiences with the new ones are? |

I have no problem catching fish on new beavers. |

Location: Walker, MN | The synthetic ones pick up a ton of water...I need to wear rain gear when running the boat. They do catch fish though. |

| Lol, so true on the water cannon that the synthetic hair blasts. But yeah, they work just fine for their intended purpose. |

| Howdy,
Which boards? I have six of the original size and six of the smaller ones that have never been cast that I’ve been using as ballast on the boat.
Take care,

Location: MN | I don't think it matters much. The bait works the same in the water and in my brief experience the fish respond similarly. The first time out with a synthetic I caught a 48. IMO, the hair hype is the same irrational combination of exclusivity and nostalgia you see with a lot of other baits. As far as I'm concerned, it's a good thing - any hair beavers you might have have appreciated in value 2x! |

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota | I have only ever thrown the synthetic beavers and a black mid size beaver with a orange tail is my number 1 producing bait so far this year. I don’t know if the hair ones are better but I know the modern ones catch a lot of fish and have great action |

| You guy's got me thinking! Went and looked at my two Beaverbaits and I got one of each. I also have one that has a Jitterbug head. The jitterbug is a piece of crap even though it has real Deer hair. I wonder if there's a way to put the real Deer hair on the Jitterbug? |
